After the early dynasty, Jiajing quickly returned to the Yangxin Palace to change into civilian clothes, and then hurriedly left the palace with the guards, rode out of the city, and rushed to the camp of the Shenji Camp in western Beijing.

The small town of Kejiao in western Beijing is now becoming more and more prosperous, with inns and restaurants on both sides of the official road, all kinds of shops and groceries, and several high-end green buildings have been opened.

Jiajing rode his horse through the town surrounded by dozens of plainclothes guards, but it didn't attract much attention, after all, in the border of the capital, there are many emperors and grandsons, and dozens of entourages are nothing.

Jiajing and his entourage soon came to the door of the Shenji Camp camp, and the guards in charge of guarding the door saw Jiajing dressed as a scholar immediately, and immediately opened the door smartly, and said with a smile: "Childe is here, Miss Zhi'er is busy in the armory." ”

Jiajing nodded approvingly, rode into the camp, turned over and dismounted in a dashing manner, and walked to the weapons workshop with a light car, and a group of internal guards hurriedly dismounted and followed.

Jiajing walked quickly to the door of the armory, first tidied up his clothes, then took out the gold-painted folding fan tucked around his waist, shook it very coquettishly and asked, "Little Pony, am I dressed handsome today?" ”

The guard Ma Sanwen immediately gave a thumbs up and praised him very doggedly: "Handsome is blown up, Pan An is not as good as the emperor in the next life!" ”

Jiajing smiled and walked into the gate of the armory, and a group of guards followed him as if he were facing a great enemy.

Moreover...... Moreover...... Moreover......

There was a sudden sound of "what's more" in the workshop, Ma Sanwen and other guards rushed to Jiajing's body, protected him, and the two guards in front even raised their shields.

"The emperor is careful, there is a demonic spirit, Miss Zhi'er doesn't know what kind of demon moth she is doing again!" Ma Sanwen said vigilantly, and looked into the workshop with his head probed.

Jiajing raised the folding fan and rewarded Ma San with a big popping millet, and scolded with a smile: "Demon uncle, that's steam, do you understand steam." ”

Ma Sanwen rubbed his head and smiled: "It seems that Miss Zhi'er is making a steam chicken again, today this steam chicken seems to be much more coherent and powerful, not as intermittent as last time, and the fart is more powerful than that." ”

All the guards couldn't help but laugh!

Jiajing is happy in his heart, since Xu Jin put forward the idea of the steam engine, the craftsmen of the Ming and Beijing Ordnance Bureaus are working day and night, but unfortunately there has been little progress in the past few years, mainly because the smelting level is not good, resulting in the performance of the material not meeting the requirements. Recently, He Zhier's research has progressed, and the first "steam engine" in the sense of Daming is about to be completed, so Jiajing rushed to the court.

"You kid knows a fart, go cool down!" Jiajing raised his foot and kicked Ma Sanwen aside, and walked straight into the workshop.

I saw that the workshop at this time was filled with steam, and in the center of the workshop was placed a half-man tall iron guy, the surface was yellow and clear, and it was estimated that it was made of copper.

At first glance, this iron guy looks like a large long-spouted teapot, the kind used by Sichuan people to perform tea arts, with a row of gears and power arms on it, and a bulging boiler behind it, and a stove door under the boiler.

I saw He Zhi'er wearing a gray craftsman's uniform and a peaked cap, sitting on a small pony, engrossed in adding coal to the stove door of the boiler. The water in the boiler is already boiling, steam is squeaking out from the vent hole above the boiler, and the "spout" in front is also spewing white steam, driving the gears to turn, making a "besides" sound, which is a little scary to watch.

It's the scorching heat of June right now, not to mention how hot it is in the workshop, He Zhi'er's clothes are soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her body, and her slender silhouette is looming, and the guards don't dare to look at it anymore, so they retreat one after another.

He Zhi'er has always been very focused in her work, and the steam engine is too noisy, so she didn't even notice the arrival of Jiajing and the others, and continued to add coal to the stove door, while carefully recording the data in the notebook, sweat gurgling down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Jiajing was naturally distressed, poured a bowl of water and walked over and said, "Sister Zhi'er, come and drink saliva." ”

He Zhi'er was startled, raised her head suddenly, and found that it was Jiajing, so she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said angrily: "I was almost scared to death by you, oh oh, Zhi'er visited the emperor." ”

He Zhi'er stood up and gave a salute, and Jiajing immediately straightened up and said, "Sister Zhi'er, you are willing to respond to me." ”

He Zhi'er stuck out her tongue, took the bowl in Jiajing's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Si Pao." ”

"That's pretty much it." Jiajing turned his anger into joy.

He Zhi'er rolled her eyes playfully, grunted a bowl of water, then shoved the bowl into Jiajing's hand, sat down and continued to record the data in the small notebook. If this scene is seen by Empress Wu and others, it is estimated that the jaw will drop in shock, and then the lungs will explode, how can it be reasonable, how can it be that the emperor is called like a servant, what kind of system will it become, and its crime should be punished!

However, Jiajing, this kid obviously didn't mind, not only didn't mind, but looked at the appearance of this son, it seemed that he was still willing to eat, after putting the bowl away, he immediately ran back to He Zhi'er, and then leaned his head over, and while playing a fan for He Zhi'er very doggedly, he asked with great interest: "Sister Zhi'er, is this steam engine successfully manufactured?" ”

He Zhi'er shook her head and said, "It's still far away, the steam pressure gauge that my brother said has not been made." ”

"After the steam pressure gauge is made, will the steam engine be installed on the battleship?" Jiajing couldn't wait to be authentic.

He Zhi'er raised her pretty face, looked at Jiajing with idiot eyes, and said seriously: "It will take at least a few years for the steam engine to be really built, not to mention that there are many problems involved in installing the steam engine on the warship, and it is estimated that it will take ten or eight years, or even ten or twenty years." ”

Jiajing's jaw almost dropped in shock, and he lost his voice: "It's going to take so long!" ”

He Zhi'er rolled her eyes cutely and said, "Do you think that this steam engine can only be regarded as a model now, and it is not far from practical application." ”

Jiajing suddenly wilted, and suddenly laughed again, He Zhi'er pursed her lips and said, "What are you laughing at?" They didn't lie to you. ”

"Sister Zhi'er, why did you grow a beard!" Jiajing laughed, while taking out a sweat towel to wipe the coal stains on He Zhi'er's cheeks.

He Zhi'er was originally born very thin, but in the past few years, she has eaten and lived well in Xu Mansion, not only has she become more and more plump, but her skin has also become pink and white, and her dark eyes are bright, and she is becoming more and more beautiful.

He Zhi'er's face flushed, she clenched her fists and made a gesture, and suddenly there was a muffled sound, not that Jiajing was punched, but that the piston on the boiler was washed away, and the boiling water splashed out.

"Ahh He Zhi'er exclaimed, subconsciously holding her head with both hands, but her eyes were dark, and she had been slammed to the ground by Jiajing, so the splashing boiling water was all sprinkled on Jiajing's back.

When the guards outside the door heard the sound, they immediately rushed in like an arrow, and when they saw the situation in front of them, they were instantly frightened, and Ma Sanwen lifted the bucket next to him and poured the water in the bucket into the boiler door.

With a bang, the coal in the stove was extinguished, but Jiajing next to him was also drenched into a soup chicken.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

In the smoke, a group of guards helped Jiajing up, the latter was soaked, wiped a handful of water from his face, and said angrily: "Which bastard splashed it?" ”

Jiajing's anger, the guards were relieved, they could scold people, at least prove that people are fine. Ma Sanwen threw the barrel, fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, it's a small one, a small one should be damned!" ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later, Sister Zhi'er, are you okay?" Jiajing leaned over and helped He Zhi'er on the ground.

"I didn't ...... I'm fine! He Zhi'er's face was pale, and she looked a little distracted.

"Sister Zhi'er, why is your face so bad? But it's hot? Jiajing said nervously.

He Zhi'er came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's not hot, it's just a knock on the back of the head, and it hurts a little." ”

Jiajing's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Come on, quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”

He Zhi'er hurriedly said: "Brother Si Pao, no need, I'm fine, I'm really fine, if the Queen Mother knows that you are here, she should be angry again." ”

He Zhi'er looked at Jiajing with a pleading expression, the last time she had an accident in the Taiye Pool, she had an accident, and finally alarmed Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Wu, and she still has a shadow in her heart now.

Jiajing's expression froze, and he also remembered the test of mines in the Taiye Pool, because of that incident, the queen mother had a very bad impression of Zhi'er, if she let the queen mother know this time...... No, the queen mother must not be allowed to know.

"Then let's get a doctor in town." Jiajing hesitated.

"I really don't need it, I just knocked it, I was a little dizzy, just rest for a while." He Zhi'er smiled reluctantly.

Jiajing's heart was raised, Zhi'er's sister's head was traumatized back then, which led to amnesia, and her mental age returned to about ten years old.

"Then I'll send you home first." Jiajing was not at ease, so he decided to send He Zhi'er back to the house first, and then find Li Yanwen from Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat him.

He Zhi'er nodded and said, "Okay, but your clothes are all wet." ”

"The little one will go to the town to buy a new set of clothes for the emperor." Ma San asked, this kid cleverly ran out.

He Zhi'er pursed her lips, took Jiajing's hand and said softly: "Brother Sipao, you take off your clothes, I'll take a look at the wound on your back." ”

"Sister Zhi'er, I'm not hurt!" Jiajing pretended to be casual and authentic.

He Zhi'er glanced at Jiajing, and reached out to untie his belt without saying anything, and the guards looked at each other, wanting to withdraw but not daring to retreat, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the emperor to be injured in the dragon's body, if you let the palace know, their guards will not be able to eat and walk around.

"You all go out, who dares to chew the root of his tongue and watch his skin carefully!" Jiajing glared at the guards and shouted.

"Yes!" The guards retreated.

He Zhi'er took off Jiajing's shirt, and sure enough, she found that the latter's back was burned red, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Si Pao, you are burned!" ”

Jiajing grinned and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's a little meaning." ”

He Zhi'er stuck out her tongue: "I also said that it's okay, it's all peeling, sit obediently, I'll go get the medicine." With that, he turned and walked away, taking out a medicine box from the closet.
